Mixed reaction from some Chelsea fans to Willian’s move to rivals Arsenal

It was today officially announced by Arsenal that they’ve signed Willian.

After 7 years at Stamford Bridge, the Brazilian’s contract finally ran out, and with no 3 year extension from Chelsea forthcoming, his desire to stay in London meant a move to the Gunners.

While most Chelsea fans loved Willian, others couldn’t stand him, and there’s a similarly mixed reaction to his move to our rivals Arsenal.

Some are sad to see him go, while others gloat about the “retirement home” nature of the move, where he joins previously expendable David Luiz.

In reality, there were very few who thought that it would have been a good idea to give him the three years he wanted, even those who were really big fans.

Sporting Index put the question to their fans on Twitter and got some interesting responses to it.
